i'm not saying you have to see it - but it sure seems obvious to me ..
i guess it doesnt help that Sir Ian Mckellen is their leader :)
I guess I see what you're saying, although I just didn't see it in the film.
I assume that means Ian Mckellen is gay then? I don't pay very close attention to celebrity gossip. He sure looked gay in his helmet though.

something about him 'coming out' to piss off Thatcher at the time Ian Mckellan is, in fact, gay. (yes yes, we all know, "Gandalf the gay") He has been quoted as saying he wished he had stayed in the closet because as soon as he came out, everybody and his brother's boyfriend wanted him to do stuff for them (parades, spokesmanship, etc.)
He basically wants to be himslef and act and be left alone about the whole thing. Last i heard, anyway.

Hmmm... I had no idea. I'll tell ya the 1 person I have heard is gay but is not out of his closet yet though... Dave Courier. Yep, Uncle Joey on Full House. I have a friend that worked at a video store in Hollywood & she said Dave Courier used to come in there like once a week and buy a bunch of gay porn movies.

Alan Cumming is another gay actor who's pretty open about it..

Ahhhhh Troma! It's always very hit or miss when dealing with an exceptionally cheesy movie, but every once in a while you do find a gem. This was one of those instances I thought. What a delightfully cheesy piece of sci-fi cyborg horror crap! I was enjoying every minute of it despite the bad script, hokey FX, terrible acting and very low budget. If you like 'B' Science fiction movies, you'll have fun with this one.

Die Hard
Yeah! Die Hard kicks ass! I've always appreciated how it takes about 20 minutes to set up the characters and then spends the next 65 minutes killing terrorists in imaginative ways. This is, and probably always will be, one of my favorite action movies. John McClane is just a cool character, period. I can't wait for Die Hard 4, which is in the works (I hear it may be getting released as 'Live Free or Die Hard'.) Good story, good action, good direction, good violence... There isn't really anything negative for me to say about this movie...

A- is a great grade from me as I am generally very stingy with A's. I think I have only given 1 A in the past year (Original TCM). I reserve the top grade for very exceptional films. Anything I list as an A- is an really awesome movie, just not quite in the 'work of art' range.

I explained that wrong. I reserve A+ for the work of art type movies and that is what I've only given 1 of in the past year. A & A- are both still excellent films but they just quite aren't there at that higher pedestal. I think I gave this one an A- simply for the fact that there are a handful of better action films out there that aren't masterpieces and they will need a place to go if that makes sense.

It was an alright movie with a pretty damn effective ending. It wasn't anything spectacular, and it certainly wasn't as good as Halloween is (I know, I know, Halloween owes everything it had to BC...but Halloween is a superior film).
Good cast, though, with good performances.

Well, they air on Spike and Space every once in a while, marathon-style, and back a few years I remember catching some bits of the sequels. I've seen a few of the more recent sequels (ie - the shitty installments like H20), but nothing of the originals. I wasn't too drawn to ever seeing the first two... before recently, when over 20 members had it as their top #1 favourite horror film. Then I knew I HAD to see it.
I'm worried that after seeing it I'll be dissapointed... after all this hype I've created, and others, around it.
Anyway... thoughts after each one.

Saw it last night and it was barely mediocre. The first 15 minutes were promising and R Lee Ermy always delivers, but there is NOTHING else going on here.

Worse! Roderick summed it all up nicely. I kept looking at the clock in the theatre to see how much longer i had to endure it. At least in the 2003 remake i cared somewhat for the characters. This one, i couldn't wait for them to die. Movie dragged on and on. Nothing creepy or suspenseful at all. Shaky camera did nothing for me. Shit! Nispel could've done a better job with this. But in reality, what were we expecting from the diretor of Darkness Falls.:rolleyes:

It's a good thing it did well.

What's that spell? Bram Stoker's Way of the Vampire!
Wow! This movie sucked some of the most major balls of any I've seen recently and that's pretty rough news because I've been watching Troma & D grade horror lately! Horrible script, bad directing, bad acting, stupid fight scenes , stupid FX, minimal gore, corny lines that're so bad they're... just bad. This film basically offers zero entertainment value whatsoever and I could only recommend to someone looking for some way to inflict slow and painful punishment on thier enemies. The majority of the gore is so low budget that it just looks like streawberry jelly, but there is one part where a heart is ripped out that looks pretty good. That solitary 3 second scene is the only thing saving this movie from an 'F' grade.

I can definately see where you're coming from. I had a little trouble with the soundtrack myself, it was about three songs that they played over and over again, and it didn't seem like they had any volume control. The only time I liked this was the irish type song (I think it was the Dropkick Murphys) that they pumped during the long awaited title sequence. I loved the way this movie didn't even really get started until about 20 minutes into it.
As far as the crawling thing...yeahhhh, that was pretty blatant. My friend hated that, too. I'm not sure what I thought about it.

Yes, the movie was definitely dedicated to the SH fans.
So, was it fairly true to the game? Or was it like Doom where they borrowed names and visuals and scrapped the original story for something "Original"?

Scorcese - while putting his stamp on it - still left the strong feel of a HK film.

Silent Hill. It kinda tripped at the end, and what actually happened with Rose and Sharon is hazy (are they alive? is Sharon evil? Cmon now...)
all in all though, i liked it. GREAT atmosphere, probably on eo fthe best atmospheric horrors since the Ring. Creepy as hell. I actually watcjed it a second time the next morning. Beta the hell out of Doom.
you enjoyed an atmospheric film ??!!!

Pretty good, but what a fucking bizare ending. I really enjoyed the movie, but the last 10 minutes or so are just "What the hell?"
I do recomend it though. It's no Sin City, but the digital backgrounds/sets give the movie kind of a cool feel. It has it's flaws, but I liked this alot more than I thought I would
So, has anyone else seen this? Im kind of curious to see what other people thought of it.

I was very impressed.
Fangoria was right to rave about this film as much as it did (it was released by fangoria's gorezone, although there wasnt much gore)
despite some bad acting, this film was beautifully directed. The story is real good to and unfolds in well done way. i highly suggest it.
expect A History Of Voilence mixed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

At Midnight I'll take Your Soul
This is a black & white film out of S. America from the mid 60's. It revolves around a sinister character named Coffin Joe who will stop at nothing to get the woman he desires. For it's time, the gore is probably great, but not so much nowadays. The FX are pretty poor but this is still a fairly entertaining & unique piece of work. I don't exaclty know who I'd recommend something like this to but for diehard horror fans, it's worth checking out, if for no other reason than you rarely find S. American horror at all, let alone from the 60s.

Darkman
This movie is like a comic book put to film. (Was it actually a comic book before it became a movie?) Anyways, Sam Raimi shows why we all tend to adore his work in this dark, violent tale of vigilante justice. A tragic hero, a nasty villain, a good story, good action, good acting and nice direction, and even a Bruce Campbell cameo. What more could you ask for from an early 90's comic style action film?

Aeon Flux.. Sci-fi but I give it a lot more credit than even the creator of the series did.
and right now i'm in the middle of watching Saw 2.. this movie is 'suspenseful' (horror style) and I am enjoying it so far, i think the only thing that will ruin the movie for me will be a horrible ending.. which i doubt seeing as how the first one ended well and they are releasing a third.
Tommorrow - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake) and The hills Have Eyes. If time allows I'll probrablly pop in Silent Hill as well (I'll be damned biased on that one).

I thought the ending of the first Saw was totally a film-killer. It punched way to many holes in the plot for me to enjoy it. Saw 2's ending actually makes sense and is executed well. This is one of the very few cases that I prefer the sequel to the original. (Also, the blond guy in the original... He was a terrible fuckin' actor.)

Didn't he give the detective a chance to redeem himself by sitting and talking with/listening to Jigsaw? He only ended up in the chains because he decided not to talk with Jigsaw and save his life. It wasn't about the kid because the kid was set free anyway.

I liked it. Pretty fast paced & violent. Lots of big names & a good storyline.

(I really liked his part in Sin City too, but it was barely more than a cameo.) Bruce Willis, as usual, was excellent too and I was surprised to find that Lucy Liu didn't really annoy me as much as usual. Good acting, directing, violence, story... All in all, a really solid, entertaining film.

The movie was slow in the begining. Alot of cut away death scenes. But it is natural for a PG-13 horror flick. I liked the fact that they used fuck alot more then normal. There is definately an okay ammount of blood. The acting is alright. Not the best ever but when is it great in horror flick. The plot is definately original and I like how the story went. Its gets alot better the last half hour of the movie.

Well, it's a far cry from Kill Bill or Hard Boiled in terms of fast paced action, but I guess I didn't go into it expecting anything like that. I was expecting a cool hitman story and that was pretty much what I got. There wasn't a ton of fighting action (none really), but there was a good deal of violence and people getting killed and that compensated for me. I liked it. :)

It was ok, but personally I think that since lock stock, I've liked this guys films less and less. Great cinematography, and a really good musical score...some funny characters, but I think the plot was a little too convoluted at points, with random characters from the past and present being referred to I was left thinking "what? who?" a few times too many I thought.
The overall plot was ok, but to me there was just something not very likeable about the film. It's "ok", but I could live without seeing it again.

The Omen (2006)
You know what? This wasn't bad at all. Infact, it's quite a strong remake. Or re-filming, as I would call it. The plot follows the original almost to a t; save for some apocoplytic relating to recent world events (which was quite smart in my books). The acting is definately down from the original, way down, and Julia Stiles is a big stinker - but it doesn't distract from the overall experience that much (and besides, she's not the main focus). Visually... it's stunning. Set pieces, camera work, effects... all done very well. The Damien in this movie, in my opinion, is a lot creepier then the older Damien in the originals. Overall... it's like the original. There's really no point to it, except for opening the original up to a newer, flash-craving, audience. And what's so wrong about that?
If you like the original, I'd say check this out at least. There's not too much difference, except for the fact that the film footage is fresher.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I skipped this one last week because I thought it would be yet another weak addition to the franchise, but I reconsidered when I read some positive reviews. I have to say I was impressed and really liked it. It's not nearly as good as the original, but what is?:p
The Departed. I went to see this with my cousin. I'm not a Scorsese or Dicaprio fan, but I really liked this movie. It's not as good as Infernal Affairs, the Asian movie that inspired it. IMO, Scorsese fell into the same trap a lot of directors fall into; he felt the need to take things one step too far with the ending. He should have ended it about two or three minutes earlier. Overall, however, it was good. Jack Nicholson is great (if a bit over-the-top at times).

Excellent acting, directing, and art direction - but it didn't make a lot of sense. Good, not great and it takes a bit of a nosedive in the third act.
Poltergeist
Fun trying picking apart what Tobe Hooper did and what Speilberg did on this one. Who would have thought that a project this troubled could end up so much fun!

I've heard they quarreled quite a bit during production. I'm guessing Hooper wanted a gore/scare fest while Spielberg wanted a supernatural action-thriller. Who knew a 50/50 combination of both could be so perfect?

Man of the House.
picked this up because i had to use up my store credit.
and was suprised !
Tommy Lee Jones playes a tough no nonsense texas ranger (a stretch for him) but he gets to have fun with it ..
he's been put in charge of protecting 5 witnesses to a homicide ... and they're all cheerleaders.
the suprise of this film is that it didnt fall into a single stupid cliche that i was expecting.
it was extremely well written and directed. great dialogue..
even Tommy Lee couldnt have pulled this off if the writing was bad ... so kudos to the people involved.
related fact - the directors first film was Critters :)

This movie makes me feel like AVP did. Werewolves vs Vampires should be the most awesome geek-fest ever... but it just isn't.

Last seen was A History of Violence(good movie). Tonight I'm going to see The Grudge 2 with some friends. I don't really have a good feeling about it, but I'm sure I'll be back here to let my thoughts of it be known.:)
This was the worst idea I ever had....to go see a PG-13 rated "horror" movie on Friday the 13th. And to top it off I didn't even like the the first one. :rolleyes: As my boyfriend noteably put it, 'we may as well have went to the skating rink.' The place was PACKED full of screaming kids. And I MEAN SCREAMING! Every little thing that happened "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" from about 72 twelve year old girls. Talk about a headache. If I'd have had a gun, I would have given them something to really scream about:D
As for my opinion of the actual movie....Lame, 2/10. The acting was terrible, as well as the set-up.

Ultraviolet
There was plenty of action in this futuristic vampire/virus film, but the problem was that it all felt so choreogrpahed that I may as well have been watching a dance recital. The plot was also unneccesarily confusing and the story just really wasn't all that interesting. It was okay, but nothing I'd recommend or ever bother to see again.
C-
House of 1000 Corpses
This is cool. Although I prefer Devils Rejects, this is still a pretty cool, dark piece of work. The acting is good, the story creepy. I remember thinking that this movie borrowed a lot from TCM, after watching it the first time, but upon another viewing I don't see that as much. Good directing, plenty of violence & gore and of course... Otis!
B
Dirty Pretty Things
I watched this not knowing much about it, but found it to be pretty good. It's a gritty story of a couple of immigrant hotel workers who stumble on to a bizarre murder scene. Well acted and a pretty cool plot. The one big flaw here is that all of the characters have a different accent so understanding what is being said can be a challenge. I actually watched it with sub-titles. All in all, this was a pretty cool film.

He does, but you're not missing much. For the most, it's just him complementing himself, and finding ways to relate every damn movie to NOES, so he can talk about himself some more.
